A cascade of events follows binding of an agonist ligand to the tachykinin NK(1) receptor. These events include activation of multiple signal transduction pathways as well as cellular modulation of receptor function by the process of desensitization.…

Following agonist binding, neurokinin-1 receptors undergo rapid desensitization followed by internalization and recycling. Desensitization requires receptor phosphorylation but does not require internalization, whereas resensitization is thought to…

Prolonged or repeated activation of many G protein-coupled receptors induces rapid desensitization followed by a period during which receptors are resensitized. In this study, concanavalin A (Con A) and monensin were used to investigate the…

The NK(3) subtype of tachykinin receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor that is a potential therapeutic target for several neurological diseases, including schizophrenia. In this study, we have screened compound databases for novel NK(3) receptor…

Previous studies have shown that tachykinin peptide ligands of the tachykinin NK1 receptor exhibit functional selectivity with respect to signal activation and desensitization. The differences are most dramatic between the naturally occurring…
